[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think some people got used to the hermit lifestyle during COVID and are having trouble coming back out into the world…[/quote]

I socialize with other families (indoors and out), do normal stuff w/out my kids, and do mostly outdoor stuff w/kids (or with friends/family, just not random crowds).  I'm really just not sure why eating in restaurants with kids is so important to society or my life.  If you want to take your kids, great.  But it isn't weird to reprioritize it.[/quote]

Oh I agree with you and do the same sort of prioritization, but it sounded like OP’s DH wouldn’t be okay with family gatherings (with vaccinated adults) either. And there are plenty of people who are still enjoying their COVID bubble and find any excuse not to come out. Delta variant is a godsend for them[/quote]

Where do you get the idea that DH wouldn't be OK with family gatherings with vaccinated adults?
So far the only thing OP specifically mentioned is an indoor restaurant and indoor pool - where you can safely assume there will be unvaccinated, unmasked adults. 
Those things are really different from some extreme COVID bubble.  OP wants to be totally free from COVID totally.  DH (and lots of others) don't think that's responsible.

OP, generally in our family, we go with the more conservative parents on safety issues.  The issues you and DH have will come up over and over and over again in your kids' lives - about when to get a phone or when to allow sleepovers or how to handle drinking or a million other things.  Your kids are still young.  It's time to figure out how to handle differing parenting comfort levels now, because it won't end when COVID ends.[/quote]
